It's time for the Medallion Hunt! The first clue will appear on PioneerPlanet just after midnight Saturday, Jan. 22. Come back here to compare notes with other treasure seekers, but be certain you read the rules on the Planet's Winter Carnival page.
hey the last 7 years the MEd has been in something white so it blends into the snow... i think this year it could be naked... colorful things will get picked up quickly
and they want this to go the distance... you know how many people would buy the paper and hit this website if it went to clue 12? we're already at 8000+ posts for
6 clues... last year only 9000+ posts for all the clues and the aftermath... this thing is getting HUGE
my dad has been huntin for the medallion for 35 years i dont even know if the medallion was out then but he got very close it was bye the capitol in some trees and
he took my sister and they went they got done so they sat on a bench never thinking to look up but anyways it was in the tree right above them oh man were they
kicken themselfs sorry for the typos if i have any i dont feel like checkin
I know the author's name ... and it is a no brainer!! Sorry! Can't tell you right now...am waiting for the next clue to pinpoint it better but it is NOT NEWELL
PARK!!!! There is no devil involved in this treasure hunt kids! Does anyone else know the author and willing to tell???
the capitol is where 35e and 94 meet. the numbers 95 and 4. the saint paul tec college is studing the new, and the history museum is studying the old. I have a lot of
other theories about that area I was out there today and there were a few people out looking.
hey Dingo man....am talking to my sister on the phone and just read your message about your dad and we are cracking up!!! Sounds like he looked for the medallion
before there even was a treasure hunt going on! Hahahaha!! Just kidding....last year my sister and I walked over the dang thing and shoveled right next to it! I was
there when it was found!! Dang!!! So Close!!!!! I was right next to it!!! With a dad like yours dingo...we will have to say a prayer for YOU too!! LOL!!
I'm not buying everyone's theory on the 'yearning for something worth yearning' bit. I don't think this has anything to do with a school or a library. It is a lefthanded
reference to something totally different. We need to think of something that is yearned for. I can't think of anything. How is the word yearn used in everyday life?
well as soon as the clue comes out if it even refers one little bit to newell im there. Ive been in and around every part of newell today. WOW! much bigger then i
though. and like i said devils den took a while and nothing was touched there. Maybe i was the first and only one there. Have fun trying to find it cause i think that it is
Hey Rock! Look up the word devil...he is an evil spirit the ruler of hell...a temptor...an iconoclast is one who seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas!! Stick
with THAT not the destroyer of religious images. No Fever and Barton ... it is NOT Longfellow...sorry .... clues point to a park where it has never been!!!
An iconoclast is an "attacker of established ideas and usages" , says nothing in the dictionary about being against religion specifically. Although an icon is a "religious
image painted on a panel". I think you are thinking too hard on that one.
Go back to the beginning of the water cooler-you can get clues for any previous year. clue # 7 from 95 says" Consider a place to learn as you try to discern-
blah,blah,blah." Sounds like clue # 5 from this year. That would make much sense of clue # 4, "studying the past and value in the new."
okay well then the meaning has changed since my dictionary was published..in 1976. But I still think it is a stretch to then go to the devil, which isn't even someone
It is in Newell I am willing to bet big money that it is there...hey thats an idea...even if I don't find it I could win some money when it is found...any takers??? JK
Does anyone have BC theory?
Anybody got any ideas of what the medallion could be in. Maybe the inside of a book binding?
All, I can say is all you folks are great!! Since the hunt has started I haven't watched TV, this is way much more fun. Good luck to all!!!!!
you can see the tower when your in devils den
Newell is the place to be!!!
think it is at or near the capitol!
Will someone explain the devil's den theory? How does the devil figure into any of the clues?

I haven't heard any theories on numbers adorning a front door- does anyone have any ideas on this
the medallion is not in a book its in a very small treasure chest like it says in clue 5
Mushie- are you referring to L--------?
LONGFELLOW?

Longfellow's been brought up before... works for that clue but im havin a tough time with the other clues fitting the unsaid park
fever - thanks for the laugh!
What are the thoughts behind Swede Hollow?
but dont you think then they would have referred to the numbers 9,5,4, and 3 in the clue?
How many is a few James?
OK ICONOCLAST IS SOMEONE WHO PUTS DOWN RELIGIOUS FIGURES/IMAGES. WHAT BETTER THEN THE DEVIL. AND DEVILS DEN IS
IN NEWELL PARK BUT IS VERY HARD TO SEE AND IS NOT SMALL BUT NOT BIG. IT TOOK ME 10 MINUTES TO GET THERE MAYBE EVEN
MORE. THE SIGN IS VERY SMALL AND THE PATH IS COVERED WITH SNOW. YOU CAN SEE THE KS95 TOWER FROM THERE.

Anyone with me here. I think this is big.
Barton, look to clues from 1995. Some huge similarities to this years. Would lead one to believe its at the same park.
u are yearning for the place of the MED.
just wonderin its a little theorie but 9-5=4 5-4=1 so that means nothing but i dont know i am confused i just know it is at Newell
Nickeast, AGAIN, look to clues from 1995, specifically #7
EVERYONE E-MAIL ME AT CHRISK0323@AOL.COM AND TELL ME WHAT U THINK
yeah thanx mushie
well as soon as the clue comes out if it even refers one little bit to newell im there. Ive been in and around every part of newell today. WOW! much bigger then i
though. and like i said devils den took a while and nothing was touched there. Maybe i was the first and only one there. Have fun trying to find it cause i think that it is

Is there anyone here with any real concrete ideas

Didn't think so- well, me either!!!!:(
the 95 clues mention water, trees, the 3m building... the only simlarites i see are sledding
Are there any ties for a one Saint Francis to one of the parks??
fever where you do you get the clues from 95?
Will I see any of you out digging at BC tonight?
Hey, Ferve has begun...you're stretching it quite a bit, pal.
Actually...Websters on-line dictionary does refer to an Iconoclast as one who destroys religious artifacts and beliefs...
The Rock-is Devils Den a small forest type place in one corner of Newell?
hey Nick East....you are right...that is a BIG clue but you are wrong about it not being related to LEARNING.... it IS!!
Didn't anyone have anything to say bout my yearning idea? What do we yearn for??

MushieW---I think the key is YEARNING!!! This is a big year, and they are not going to be that obvious. Get it.
okay well then the meaning has changed since my dictionary was published..in 1976. But I still think it is a stretch to then go to the devil, which isn't even someone
you know exists.
Hey Dingo Man...my sister is willing to tell you what we know if you want to post your e-mail address
It is in Newell I am willing to bet big money that it is there...hey thats an idea...even if I don't find it I could win some money when it is found...any takers??? JK
Well Scoot, lets hear your theory
